About: I’ve been taking care of pets since I was a child. I always felt if you love animals then you should help be their voice and make sure they are taken care of. My schedule is flexible because pet care is what I do! 🐾 I’m able to build my day around the needs of the pets in my care, whether that means morning visits, midday walks, evening drop-ins, or overnight stays. I do have other commitments from time to time, but I plan my schedule carefully so every pet gets the time, attention, and care they deserve. 🐶🐱❤️ Your pet’s safety and comfort are always my top priorities. 🐾 I take the time to understand each pet’s needs, routines, and environment so they feel secure and cared for while you’re away. I’m attentive to doors, gates, leashes, feeding areas, medications, and anything else that could affect their safety. I treat every home and pet with respect and care, and I’ll keep you updated so you can have peace of mind knowing your pets are in good hands. ❤️🐶🐱
About: Along with having dogs my entire life, I’ve been the one family and friends look to for dog sitting. They know and trust they’re loved ones are in good hands! I love making sure your fur babies are comfortable and well taken care of! ALMOST, like you never left 😀 I have experience in special needs dogs as well. I’m comfortable with administrating medications. I am currently a full time student so I have plenty of time to make sure your babies get all the exercise and potty breaks they need. I don’t have a yard, but my bbaby gets all the walks he wants a day and their is plenty of space in our home! I’m in school full time and my partner works from home. We are pretty flexible so please whatever time you need, don’t be shy! 5 am or 5 pm, I can make it happen. I have a 2 story home in a gated community that’s small. I have a dog to keep your baby company and plenty of room for play time.
“Jessica was amazing and helped let my dog out when I had to work some long hours. Took lots of cute photos and wrote a little blurb about what they did. She was awesome!”
“Melissa is the best! We were really in a jam, having to take one of our 3 dogs to University of Florida Veterinary Hospital in Gainesville for emergency treatment. With less than 24 hours notice, Melissa stepped in and stopped over to check in on and take care of our other 2 dogs at our home. A lifesaver! Thanks so much, Melissa!”
About: I've been an animal lover for as long as I can remember. Growing up I had two Lhasa Apso pups and two cats so caring for pets has been a big part of my life. As they got older, I helped give them their medications and make them feel comfortable. Over the years, my family has added three pups - two Toy Poodles and one Shih Tzu, who I have helped raised since they were puppies. I also have two of my own: an Australian Shepherd and a Bernese Mountain Dog, both whom I have raised since they were 8 weeks old. Through them, I have lots of experience in puppy training and recognizing that each pup is unique and has different needs. I also have experience caring for cats. My childhood cat developed health issues in her senior years, and I helped care for her through monthly vet visits and multiple medications, giving me first hand experience with the extra patience and attention senior cats need. My family also added a friendly tuxedo kitten to the bunch and my boyfriend has a shy cat as well. So I am comfortable caring for cats with outgoing or more reserved feline personalities. I understand that every pet has different needs, and I always strive to make them feel safe, comfortable, and loved while they're in my care. Whether your pet is energetic and playful, shy and cautious, or a senior needing extra patience, I'll care for them as if they were my own. I have plenty of time to look after your pup or feline! While I prefer to watch your pet between 8-5 so I can also spend time with my own pets, I understand there are times after work or on the weekends when you need to leave your furry friend to go and enjoy yourself without feeling guilty leaving them behind. In these cases, I can absolutely make exceptions. Every pet has their own routine, preferences, and unique needs so I will take the time to follow your care instructions closely. Whether that's sticking to a feeding schedule, administering medications, or going on walks, I will make sure your pet's routine stays as consistent as possible. My goal is to help your pet feel safe and give you peace of mind knowing your pet is cared for and loved while you're away. I'll care for them the way you ask while also treating them with the same affection and attention I give my own pets. I understand how important it is to trust someone with a member of your family, so I will do everything to care for them!

About: With over six years of hands-on experience working with dogs and their families, I understand that every pet has a unique personality, routine, and set of needs. My goal is to provide compassionate, dependable care that helps pets feel safe, comfortable, and loved while giving their owners complete peace of mind. My experience includes caring for dogs of all ages, sizes, breeds, and temperaments—from energetic puppies to senior dogs and those who need extra patience and attention. I believe in using positive, calm interactions to build trust and help every dog feel secure. Whether I’m taking your dog on a walk, providing drop-in visits, or caring for them while you’re away, I’ll treat them as if they were my own. I pay close attention to routines, exercise, feeding schedules, medications, and the little details that help pets feel at home. I know how important it is to trust the person caring for your furry family member. You can expect reliable communication, regular updates, photos, and the confidence that your pet is receiving attentive, loving care every step of the way. I’m currently working part-time so I am available to work with and care for your pets. Also, available on weekends at any time of the day. I have Dog Training experience for 6 years so I know how to help work with your dog on enforcing positive basic commands and help prevent unwanted behavior including anxiety.
“Lindsay did a great job taking care of our cats while we were away. It was nice to come home and not have to clean up after the cats because Lindsay was so diligent about doing everything I requested on her visits.”

“We used Taylor to help take care of our dog, Missy, while we were on vacation last week. She's really awesome and we are happy with her & the way she takes care of Missy. She is great in sending us pictures and updates about Missy everyday and that surely gives us a lot of peace while we are away from home knowing that our dog is in good hands.

If you need overnight care or dog walks, you may also be able to book House Sitting or Dog Walking through Rover with the same sitter, provided they offer those services.
Before booking, confirm:
- the timing, length, and frequency of visits;
- the care instructions the sitter should follow;
- which parts of your pet’s usual routine should be prioritized;
- how often you would like to receive messages, photos, or other updates.
Not every sitter offers the same services, availability, or booking options. Review their profile and discuss the care you need through Rover before booking each service.
Key handling is entirely up to you and your sitter to agree on during the Meet & Greet or in the Rover app. Most pet parents in Fernandina Beach choose to hand over a spare key or digital fob in person, while others arrange a lockbox or unique access code. Don't forget to discuss key returns as well!
Every sitter on Rover is required to pass a background check before listing their services. This process confirms their identity and indicates they are not on the Department of Justice’s National Sex Offender Public Website or have any disqualifying offenses.

A Meet & Greet is a casual meeting to vet potential sitters and communicate care needs for peace of mind before a booking begins. Only sitters who have never booked with you before can schedule a Meet & Greet on Rover; however, you are welcome to coordinate one in Rover messages with sitters you have previously booked. This can be helpful if you have a new pet or routine you want to go over with your sitter.
Meet & Greets can take place in person or virtually. If you are booking with a sitter for the first time, we recommend in-person Meet & Greets to get a clearer sense of how your sitter interacts with your pet or the new environment.
During the Meet & Greet, you will have a chance to walk through your pet's routine, medical needs, and unique quirks. Take the time to ask your sitter questions about their skills and expertise, and make sure the fit feels right for everyone. Meet & Greets are a great way to prepare your pet and sitter for longer stays or first-time bookings. Read our tips for your first Meet & Greet .
